The Long Walk Home (1990) starring Whoopie Goldberg 9/11

Dramatizes the events in 1955-1956 in Montgomery, Alabama, when blacks boycotted public transport becuase they were forced to sit at the back. Odessa works as a maid for the Thompsons, and as well as she is treated, she feels it is her duty to walk to work, even if it means she is exhaused, and gets to work late.

It's amazing how many racist/racially biased comments there are on these videos. Bloody heck, people, are you even watching the movie? it IS NOT ABOUT COLOUR. Stop acting like it's so important. If all races are to be equal then you don't pay them any heed, you just base your judgment of people by what is INSIDE. Brains and hearts, not skin-tones! Who cares if you're a minority if you're in America? Do your best and succeed now that you can!

@fhockey13 Okay so we should vote on people based on the colour of their skin, not their merits? :P Yeah, right. That's just as racist as NOT voting for someone because of their colour. I don't care if a white/black/etc. is in office as long as they have the qualifications I desire.

isn't saying "when blacks get the vote, they are going to elect black leaders." isn't that as racist as white folks saying they will only elect white leaders?

[baire702]

one point of this movie is to show how wrong racism is; why oh why are people here still being racist themselves?

i love how the women didnt give up even when her husband didnt support her and left her, i know it must have been hard for her to do that but in her heart she knew it was the right thing to do
